By JONATHAN HICAP, Manila Bulletin

Korean boy band Super
Junior will be coming back to the Philippines to hold their world tour in
August. This has been confirmed by Happee Sy of Pulp Live Productions to Bulletin
Entertainment via text message.

Sy also announced on
Twitter, May 22: "24 Days to CNBlue BlueMoon Tour Manila! Less than 100
days to SS5 Manila. Kpop friends, are you spazzing enough?"

Super Junior held their
last concert in the Philippines, Super Show 3, on Feb. 26, 2011 at the Araneta
Coliseum.

The Philippines was not
included in the boy band's Super Show 4 tour last year.

"It's either we do the
ss5 on the given date to us, or bye bye again tayo like last year. So lunukin
at tanggapin para magka Sapphire Blue Sea," Sy tweeted.

Super Junior kicked off
their “Super Show 5” in Seoul last March. The boys then toured South America
and held concerts in San Paulo, Brazil; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Santiago,
Chile; and Lima, Peru last April.

From June, Super Junior
will hold the tour in Asia. Aside from the the boy band will hold concerts in
Indonesia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, Philippines, China and Malaysia.

For the first time,
Filipino fans will also see Kangin in the Manila tour. He was absent in the
2010 and 2011 Super Show concerts in the country.

Other Super Junior members
are currently serving in the army. They are leader Leeteuk, who enlisted in
October 2012; Yesung, who performed at the Super Show 5 in Seoul in March and
enlisted last May 6; and Heechul, who is scheduled to be discharged from the
army by the end of August this year.
